Movie Review: Tragic, Scandalous and Recent History Remembered — “Nickel Boys”
In “Nickel Boys,” first-time feature director RaMell Ross almost overwhelms performance with technique. Characters are obscured, faces hidden, glimpsed from the legs down to their shoes, passing by in the blur of memory. By the time we set our eyes … Continue reading
